My Story
I’ve spent my life in pursuit of two things: feeling fully alive and helping others do the same. That’s driven 25 years in the health and wellness space and taken me to places most people only dream about. I became a travel advisor because I saw what the right experience could do for a person. I’ve never looked back.
Travel Style
I gravitate toward travel that has real intention behind it. Not just beautiful places, but the right places. Properties chosen for how they feel, not just how they look. Itineraries built around your pace, not a checklist.
The trips I design make room for both. Days spent exploring a city, hiking to a view, or getting lost in a local market. Evenings that slow down, with a great meal and nowhere to be. That balance isn’t accidental. It’s the whole point.
I believe travel should leave you feeling better than when you left. Restored, inspired, and genuinely glad you went.

I gave Deb very short notice for a conference I was attending in London. She arranged the car service, hotel, and airfare. Deb also kept in touch with me throughout the trip. I have already referred a friend of mine to her.

There are travel agents, and then there is Debra. If you are looking for someone who can craft a truly extraordinary, multi-destination journey that feels both effortless and deeply personal, she is simply in a league of her own.
Debra recently designed a 10-day California coastal road trip for us that I honestly did not think was possible to pull off this well. Starting in San Francisco, winding down through Carmel, Cambria, and Santa Barbara, and finishing in Los Angeles, this was not just a road trip. It was a masterfully curated journey through some of the most varied and spectacular landscapes and communities California has to offer.
What made it genuinely remarkable was how distinct each stop felt and how intentional every choice was. The iconic grandeur of the Fairmont San Francisco. The understated Northern California chic of La Petit Pali in Carmel. The soul-restoring quiet of White Water in Cambria, perched above Moonstone Beach. The colorful, joyful energy of the Palihouse in Santa Barbara. The cool, effortless LA style of the Palihouse in West Hollywood. Each property perfectly matched its destination's personality, and each reflected our preference for boutique, understated luxury without a single misstep. And then there was the drive through Big Sur. Arranging the timing so we hit that stretch of coastline just right, with its dramatic cliffs and pristine beauty, was something I will never forget. It reminded me why California is unlike anywhere else on earth.
At every property along the route, we were greeted with complimentary upgrades, welcome gifts, and exceptional service. That does not happen by accident. It is the result of Debra's deep industry relationships, meticulous planning, and genuine commitment to her clients.
To time a trip this precisely, match accommodations this thoughtfully to such wildly different destinations, and deliver this level of experience consistently from San Francisco all the way to LA is an extraordinary achievement. Debra has earned a client for life and my highest possible recommendation, without hesitation.

DebO has always had a heart to help people. She bends over backwards and wants a great experience for anyone and everyone she meets. She is easy to work with and very communicative, which is important for me, because I don't want to have to wonder or worry about any details. I will, am, would use her again!

A Journey to Waterfalls, Volcanoes & Wellness: Your Guide to La Fortuna, Costa Rica
La Fortuna won me over the moment Arenal Volcano came into view. The sheer impression of it took my breath away. It was as if it was painted onto the sky. We spent ten days here, and most mornings started with howler monkeys booming through the canopy before we'd even finished our coffee. The days filled up fast—hiking the old lava trails, riding out to the waterfalls, spotting sloths tucked high in the branches—and we ended every one of them sunk in the hot springs. What surprised me was how much the place slowed me down. It lets you go hard and rest just as deeply, and for anyone who needs both, this is the corner of Costa Rica I point them to.

California Road Trip
The California coast is the drive that taught me how much travel can actually change you when it's paced right. Running it from San Francisco down to Carlsbad gave me the full sweep of the state—redwoods and fog one day, desert light and ocean cliffs the next—with each stop chosen so there's room to breathe between the highlights. It's beautiful and varied in every way.
